From Tennis to Pickleball: Learning Speed-Ups at the Kitchen

In this lesson, I’m coaching a tennis player on how to execute speed-ups in pickleball. We focus on adjusting from tennis timing to the fast-paced kitchen exchanges, using quick hands, precise paddle control, and smart placement. Speed-ups are a key tool to apply pressure, force errors, and take control of the point. This session helps players stay aggressive while maintaining balance and consistency at the net — essential for anyone transitioning from tennis to pickleball or looking to improve their offensive game.

It’s the perfect blend of power, control, and feel — you can really feel the ball stay on the paddle longer, which gives you more precision and confidence in every shot. Whether I’m driving, dinking, or countering at the kitchen, this paddle performs. If you want to check it out, visit DwellPickleball.com and look for The Burg Brawn (14mm) or The Burg Balance (16mm) — both are great options depending on your style.
